Travel + Leisure | The Best Way to Enjoy Coastal Maine Is Aboard This Luxury Schooner
Schooners have been the lifeblood of coastal Maine for more than a century — and sailing aboard one of these wooden boats is the best way to experience the beauty of these seaside communities.
Featured in Real Maine Weddings
"We stumbled upon the Schooner Ladona and fell in love with the ship, the history of the boat (it served as a submarine patrol in WWII), its aesthetic with natural wood and all white accents, and the layout with ample seating and standing for 45 people. We actually booked the wedding sight-unseen—we had never been to Rockland or seen the boat. We later made visits to check out the town and the boat and coordinate arrangements and realized just how awesome a 'venue' and area we had chosen."

“There’s little to do and a lot to enjoy on this three-night excursion. Lobstermen hauling traps, seabirds winging, by, seals basking on ledges, lighthouses winking, and ferries to-ing and fro-ing vie for attention along with inviting islands and remote fishing villages.”

Porthole Cruise Magazine | Why You Should Try a Windjammer
“With only sixteen passengers on the Ladona you will have the opportunity to meet like-minded travelers and perhaps form friendships that will last long after you have disembarked. The kinship you feel with everyone on board in just the short span of a few days is remarkable.”
'Best Luxury Getaway' by Yankee Magazine
“…the masterfully restored 82-foot racing schooner Ladona quickly earned a rep for its upscale amenities: hot and cold running water in every cabin, beds topped with premium linens, rain showers, chef-prepared meals, and complimentary wine served with dinner.”
Yankee Magazine has named Ladona the Best Luxury Getaway in its May 2017 issue!
“After joining the Maine windjammer fleet last season, the masterfully restored 82-foot racing schooner Ladona quickly earned a rep for its upscale amenities: hot and cold running water in every cabin, beds topped with premium linens, rain showers, chef-prepared meals, and complimentary wine served with dinner. Cruises run from three days up to a week, with charter service also available. Budding oenophiles are advised to save up for the six-day wine cruise, with each night featuring expert tastings of eight wines focused on different countries.”

“Expect admiring looks as you [sail] into ports like Castine and Boothbay Harbor aboard the Ladona — kind of like tooling around Boston in a vintage Porsche.”
